It looks like Brooke Mueller went to the same school of
excuses as Lindsay Lohan. After it was reported by TMZ on Friday that the
ex-wife of Charlie Sheen and mother of his 3-year-old twin boys had overdosed
on drugs, her rep Steve Honig – who coincidentally or not just quit as Lohan’s
mouthpiece – explained, "An assistant thought Brooke was non-responsive
while she was napping and hastily called an ambulance. As a precaution, Brooke
was brought to a local hospital and discharged after an hour. She was diagnosed
with exhaustion and dehydration and is now fine and resting at home. That's
it."

That was the same excuse Honig used for the “Liz &
Dick” actress in June when she was found unconscious in her hotel room during
filming of the Lifetime movie. “She was on set last night at 7 p.m. and worked
through the night until 8 a.m. this morning,” he explained at the time. “She
took a nap before shooting her final scene. Producers were concerned when she
did not come out of her room and called paramedics as a precaution. Lindsay was
examined and is fine, but did suffer some exhaustion and dehydration.”

For someone who was suffering from exhaustion and
dehydration, Mueller, 35, seemed to really be enjoying herself the night before
her hospitalization when she hit up Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills with her new boyfriend, jewelry
designer Pascal Mouawad … who coincidentally, again, had planned to start a
jewelry line with Lohan last year. As Mueller exited the Japanese restaurant on
Thursday night, she was wide-eyed, but seemed out of it and was confused by
simple questions. After posing for photographers, she slowly climbed into the
back seat of an awaiting car – backwards – as photographers laughed at her.

According to TMZ, Mueller, who split from Sheen in
November 2010 but has remained friends with him, has been to rehab 15 times for
dependency issues, most recently this past June. In March, she struck a plea
deal with prosecutors in Aspen, Colorado, after she was arrested for cocaine
possession following her arrest for attacking a woman in a nightclub last
December.

It has been reported that the two sons Mueller and Sheen
have together, Bob and Max, are being looked after by the actor’s other
ex-wife, Denise Richards, as Mueller and Sheen work through their issues. The
two women were seen shopping with Richards’ three daughters and Mueller’s twins
in early September at the Malibu Country Mart – but Mueller arrived alone and
met up with all of them there.
